If it wasn’t for the combat i honestly wouldn’t think this was a tale of game, it just feels more like a different series to me. That being said I can’t wait to play it. ｡◕‿◕｡

The characters look oddly plasticy to me. Am I the only one who thinks they look odd? Kinda like that Star Ocean game for X360.

SupaPhly

yes! finally someone else besides me who thinks it looks like that star ocean game :P

M’iau M’iaut

Traditional cell characters certainly do not always transfer well to 3D. Funny, since Namco has known which look folks prefer since the original Hearts was released with those two different versions.

Still sad they refuse to utilize cel shading anymore which I thought was PERFECT for the series :(

Slayven19

You were never the first to think that, people were making the comparison(Even on this very site) since day 1.

Kornelious

EVERYTHING IS BETTER IN HD! Especially Tales lol :P

fairysun

The battle system looks awesome!!

Demeanor

I wonder what will he be able to do as a “Doushi”… maybe something like Reid’s Divine Aurora? Or a dragon “stand”? Or become a real dragoon? :P

Samsara09

Well,he will have in his hands the power of the tenzoku(family of heaven) of water,fire,earth and wind…so it is something impressive

DyLaN

I think its mentioned somewhere that he can use “Heavenly Fonic Arts” once he became a “Doushi”.

Monterossa

That guy stole feather earrings from Rikku.

God

I said it once and i will say it twice, Miclio looks like he is gonna be a real Bro, i’d say he is deserving of a “Stinson seal of approval”!

Chiupon

Alicia doesn’t seem to be really focused on at all — she probably dies. Calling it.

Siberiansi

Wow…The blue clothed person is a guy. I thought for sure it was a girl.

And Edna looks awesome so far.

Kai2591

Very nice.
Very nice indeed.

Also, dat ponytail.
Laila’s ponytail is so frikkin looooong. I like :)

So are the battles not instanced?

HerosLight

E3 can’t come faster.

That is if they will show the game there.

Anime10121

Doubt it’ll be at E3, though it will definitely be at Tales of Festival right around the same time!

HerosLight

Oh you’re right. Forgot about that!

KrazyBean

The battle system looks like a fusion of Graces and Xillia. I like.

MrJechgo

Tales + PS3 + English release = instant buy

Don’t think I need to watch trailers, because that’s probably the only JRPG series that deserves more love in the West.

Spirit Macardi

I really don’t have a problem with the graphics style of this game, since everything is still stylized and colorful and clearly isn’t going for “realistic” so much as “more detailed.” Honestly the look is kind of reminding me of LoZ: Skyward Sword, which isn’t a bad thing.

I’m just wondering what RPG trope/cliche they’re going to take the sledgehammer to in this entry.

Anihilator

Sorry, no PS3 anymore. I think PS4-version, be too… Later

Day one here (the english version, of course).
Likely the last Tales of in 7th gen. But the next one will not be so great graphicaly, i think.
But i dont care. I like Tales for be tales a ingenous and last bastion of JRPG. Graphics goodloooking like FFXIII and a shit story and gameplay cn go to hell by me.

To be true, i dont care!
I like Tales for be tales; a ingenous and last bastion of JRPGs.
Graphics like FFXIII, no content and shit gameplay can go to hell by me.

Since ToHr will come, we can dream with ToInr too, no?

Anthony Birken

Well…they confirmed West release already, so I don’t need to get jap (since it’s been happening with the last few gens), Tales could shut up and take my money anytime (Can’t touch that Yuri & Flynn duo though)
